The insertion of micro-textures plays a role in reducing friction and increasing wear resistance of the cutters, which also has a certain impact on the stress field of the cutter during milling. Therefore, in order to study the mechanisms of friction reduction and wear resistance of micro-textured cutters in high speed cutting of titanium alloys, the dynamic characteristics of the instantaneous stress field during the machining of titanium alloys with micro-textured cutters were studied by changing the distribution density of the micro-textures on the cutter. First, the micro-texture insertion area of the ball-end milling cutter was theoretically analyzed. Then, variable density micro-textured ball-end milling cutters and non-texture cutters were used to cut titanium alloy, and the mathematical model of milling force and cutter-chip contact area was established. Then, the stress density functions of different micro-texture density cutters and non-texture cutters were established to simulate the stress fields of variable density micro-textured ball-end milling cutters and non-texture cutters. Finally, the genetic algorithm was used to optimize the variable density distribution of micro-textured cutters in which the instantaneous stress field of the cutters was taken as the optimization objective. The optimal solution for the variable density distribution of the micro-textured cutter in the cutter-chip tight contact area was obtained as follows: the texture distribution densities in the first, second, and third areas are second, and third areas are 0.0905, 0.0712, and 0.0493, respectively.

In the milling of titanium alloy, the distribution of milling force and its related law of change seriously affect the physical properties of workpiece materials, the stress distribution on a cutter’s rake face and the interaction between the workpiece, the cutter and the chip. This article reports on a study of the stress field distribution under the conditions of anti-friction and anti-wear when cutting titanium alloy with a micro-textured ball-end milling cutter. Milling test data were used to establish empirical models of milling force and the contact area between the cutter and the chip. Based on this, the force density function of the cutter coordinate system was obtained and the equivalent stress and displacement of the cutter were simulated and analyzed. This in turn provided the means to acquire the instantaneous stress and strain relating to the cutter at any time. Analysis of the simulation results shows that the position in which the stress and strain are concentrated on the cutter is consistent with actual processing. This confirms the accuracy of the force density function and provides the basis for further study of thermo-mechanical coupling behaviors when engaged in using micro-textured ball-end milling cutters for the cutting of titanium.

The performance of the micro nozzle is determined primarily by its machined surface topology and geometric profile. A circular cross-section micro-Laval nozzle is modeled and studied by using numerical simulation in this paper. The real residual height and residual area of machined nozzle surface with ball-end milling cutter are proposed. A micro-Laval nozzle was machined successfully. It is found that the ball end milling cutter with large radius is suitable for finishing operations in the viewpoint of nozzle performance. Moreover, the serial process of drilling and milling has been proved by experiments with which both high-level machining accuracy and performance can meet the nozzle requirement.

The poor machinability of titanium alloys results in the serious wear of the rake face of a ball-end milling tool. Previous studies indicated that the mesoscopic geometric characteristics of the tool can effectively improve the wear resistance. Therefore, in this thesis, a milling force model and a milling temperature model of a ball-end milling tool were established to verify the effect of the blunt and negative chamfer tool edges. Setting up a test platform for milling titanium alloy, the influence of mesoscopic geometric characteristic parameters on cutting performance of the ball-end milling tool was analyzed. In addition, based on the support vector regression and genetic algorithm, the optimal mesoscopic geometric characteristic parameters were obtained, which were under the four evaluation indices, such as mechanical–thermal characteristics, tool wear, and surface quality of the workpiece. It was verified experimentally that the tool life of the optimized micro-textured tools with the blunt and chamfer tool edges were improved by 33% and 25%, respectively, and the surface roughness was reduced by 26% and 23%, respectively, which were compared to the non-optimized tools. This thesis provides a reference for improving the processing efficiency and the quality of titanium alloys.
